[Equest-users] Adjacent Shells

[Crockett, Jim]

Not sure.  But if the set point on both sides of the wall is the same,
the heat transfer will be negligible.  Short answer is 'don't care.'

Jim:

 

Will you get the internal heat ransfer between these walls? Or will you
care?

We accidentally stumbled onto a way of doing this.

 

If the walls on the zoning tab do not line up with the walls on the
shell tab, they will show up as internal walls.

 

Example 1

Shell:

(0,0)  (100,0)  (100,100) (0,100)

Zone:

(1,1) (99,1) (99,99) (1,99)

 

This will create a zone surrounded by 4 internal walls.

 

Example 2

Shell:

(0,0)  (100,0)  (100,100) (0,100)

Zone:

(1,0) (99,0) (99,99) (1,99)

 

Will create a zone with 1 external wall ( on the south side) and 3
internal walls.

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

 

Jim

I am modeling a building with multiple wall types therefore I have 3
shells per floor.  I am trying to figure out how to have the adjacent
walls between shells be modeled as interior instead of exterior.  In one
of spot they came out as interior, but I am not sure how I did it.  I am
trying to do as much in the wizard as possible.   Does anyone know how
to do this??

 

Thanks for your help.
